Environmental Radiation Effects on Mammals

More about the book

Focusing on the theoretical studies of radiation effects on mammals, this updated text synthesizes 35 years of research on dose rate equivalents from Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar Particle Events. It features two new chapters addressing skin epithelium and myeloid leukemia risk assessment, alongside extensive revisions on radiation impacts on the blood-forming system. Utilizing mathematical models, the book explores acute and chronic irradiation effects on vital body systems, autoimmune disease development, and mortality dynamics, highlighting both theoretical significance and practical applications.
